JudoJohn Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hi new to this forum. I am looking at buying a Pathfinder/QX4 2003-2006. Just thought it would be good to get info from owners. I currently have as a 2nd vehicle a 1996 Toyota Tacoma. Good truck, but I want more towing capacity, and Tacos just go for WAY more than they are worth. I have owned Nissans in the past, and the Pathfinder has a good rep, even Scotty Kilmer recommends them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 04 is R51 model. Sent from my Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjotrainbrain Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Welcome! As @R50JR pointed out, if you're shopping 2003-2006 you're dipping into two very different vehicles. Honestly an R50 Pathfinder (1996-2004) isn't an especially competent tow rig, but if you get a later one with the 3.5L VQ V6 it'll most certainly do better than your Tacoma especially if yours is the 4 cyl. If you're interested in the 2005-2012 R51 Pathfinders my understanding is that they tow pretty good, especially if you find one with the V8. Welcome to NPORA, and happy shopping!
